Treaty Oak Revival, the Red Clay Strays, Minnesota’s own bluegrass favorites Trampled by Turtles and, of all acts, the Beach Boys are among the bands set to play the new country music offshoot of the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival.
The Minnesota Country Club Festival is set for July 10 and 11 at St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park. Tickets start at $95 for one day and $140 for both, with numerous more pricey options available. Concertgoers can register for access to a presale that starts at 10 a.m. Friday at minnesotacountryclubfest.com.
Promoters announced the festival earlier this month in a social media post that promised “a weekend of roots, folk, country, Americana and a few surprises along the Mississippi.”
While the Yacht Club fest has featured arena-level headliners like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morissette, Green Day and Hozier, the Country Club Festival lineup is filled with much more niche artists.
Americana acts Treaty Oak Revival and the Red Clay Strays both headlined concerts at the 8,000-capacity Armory in downtown Minneapolis last year, but the rest of the bill features artists who typically play clubs and theaters. In its first two years, Yacht Club drew about 35,000 fans each day, but it seems unlikely that Country Club will replicate those numbers.
